** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: openoffice.org
+ Binary package hint: openoffice.org-common
  
  /usr/share/mime/packages/openoffice.org-common.xml (line 63) which is
  installed with OO.o defines the mimetype "application/msword" with the
  description "Word document template". This causes all regular Word
  documents to be described as "Word document template" in Nautilus, while
  actual Word templates are described as "Word template". Another entry in
  this file says that the description for "application/vnd.ms-excel" is
  "Excel 2007 VBA add-in", which causes all Excel spreadsheets to be
- described as Excel 2007 VBA add-ins. (!)
+ described as Excel 2007 VBA add-ins. (!) Yet another one says that all
+ MS Access databases are Access 2007 databases.
  
- Those parts of the file have to be removed, because they conflict with
- the shared-mime-info definition.
+  <mime-type type="application/msaccess">
+     <comment>Access 2007 database</comment>
+     <glob pattern="*.accdb"/>
+  </mime-type>
+  ...
+  <mime-type type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
+     <comment>Excel 2007 VBA add-in</comment>
+     <glob pattern="*.xlam"/>
+     <sub-class-of type="application/zip"/>
+  </mime-type>
+  ...
+  <mime-type type="application/msword">
+     <comment>Word document template</comment>
+     <glob pattern="*.dot"/>
+  </mime-type>
+ 
+ The application/msword bit has to be removed. The VBA add-in and Access
+ 2007 definitions need to define other mimetypes (e.g.
+ application/x-msexcel2007-vba-addin and
+ application/x-msaccess2007-database, so that their descriptions don't
+ override the existing mimetypes.
  
  This is NOT related in ANY way to the application/msword-template
- mimetype not being IANA compliant.
+ mimetype not being IANA compliant, or to ooo-writer's desktop file.
